I have unfortunately fallen foul of the con artists who sell large capacity usb drives which turned out to be about a quarter of the stated capacity but have internal compression software to make it look like they are bigger. Windows even reports them to be the stated capacity.

Load on a few compressed files and suddenly the drive is full and the compression software borks the files.
